Seven o'clock in the evening.
The production crew’s car stopped at a high-end membership restaurant.
As you walk into the restaurant, soothing and melodious music starts playing. There are no other guests in the romantic and elegant restaurant, except for a few candles lit on the table in the middle.
Xie Mi’s dream of eating at Haidilao was shattered.
Actually, she wanted to eat hotpot tonight.
"Ms. Xie, please take a seat." The waiter led her to the dining table and sat her down, then left leisurely.
The lights around the restaurant are dim, with only a few flickering candles adding a sense of atmosphere.
Xie Mi recalled the scene in the original text.
In the original text, when the new guest first appeared and invited Xu Shuangrong, he took her to eat Thai food.
This restaurant is clearly Western food.
“…”
She had a bad feeling.
As the music reached its climax, a figure slowly walked out from the darkness, his handsome face illuminated by the candlelight.
Xie Mi's heart, which had been hanging in the air, finally died.
【Ahhhhhhhh what a handsome little brother! 】
[Oh my god, did the production team finally hear my request? I have been begging for help on the official Weibo account before.]
[Good, good, good, good! ! ]
The boy was fair and clean, with a golden-framed pair of glasses on his nose. His eyes beneath the lenses were bright and clear, yet had a natural coolness.
"Hello, sister. My name is Yu Jinche."
Yu Jinche, the original villain who was supposed to have an entanglement with Xu Shuangrong outside the romance variety show, came to the show instead of the fourth male guest who was supposed to participate in the show.
Xie Mi really couldn't laugh.
She thought Chen Yuqing was outrageous enough, but she didn't expect there would be someone even more outrageous.
You should know that Yu Jinche is set to be emotionally indifferent in the original book.
The reason why he was involved with Xu Shuangrong was because when Xu Shuangrong went to their school to shoot a commercial, Yu Jinche accidentally saw her privately throwing away gifts from fans.
She is gentle and kind in front of people, but cold and ruthless behind their backs, which makes Yu Jinche have a strong interest in exploring her.
This line started from then on.
In other words, in the early days, Yu Jinche was a young man who was unlikely to be interested in love, let alone participate in a dating variety show.
According to the timeline, he and Xu Shuangrong had not yet had time to get to know each other.
So, why is he here?
"Sister, are you not going to pay attention to me today?"
While she was thinking, Yu Jinche had already sat down opposite her.
The candlelight illuminated his face, his dark eyes curved, and his seemingly gentle smile concealed a turbulent mood.
Hearing what he said, Xie Mi suddenly understood.
In the original text, Yu Jinche is not only paranoid, but also holds grudges.
That day at the mall, when he greeted Xie Lian, he seemed to have called her as well. She seemed to have responded rather perfunctorily at the time...
The case was solved because of this.
"Not really, really not."
Xie Mi laughed dryly twice, "I was playing games that day so I didn't pay much attention to you, mainly because I didn't want to disturb your conversation."
Of course, she wouldn't say that she simply didn't want to be involved with the character of Yu Jinche.
After all, Yu Jinche was quite crazy in the later period.
[You two actually know each other? ! ! ]
[Ahhh, at first I thought it was a little fanboy coming onto the show to chase his idol, but I didn’t expect it was an old acquaintance. This plot is even better! ]
[Why does this conversation sound a bit like a pair of bickering lovers? Ahhhh, so sweet]
[Sorry, the sister-brother relationship pokes my cuteness, I'm going to start being a fence-sitter]
[Damn! I'll stand guard here for Old Shen! Let's see who dares to kowtow!!!]
"Yeah?"
Yu Jinche tilted his head slightly, curled up the corners of his lips and said with a smile, "I don't remember."
...Sure enough, he holds a grudge.
"The director told me that I can invite a female guest who interests me. The female guest I'm most interested in is you, sister. We must have a good date tonight."
Yu Jinche's smile became more obedient.
“…”
never mind.
Xie Mi is in a mess.
Anyway, the plot has collapsed again and again, and she is no longer surprised by the villain who was originally outside the romance variety show being brought into the romance variety show.
"Then let's eat. When will the food be served?" Xie Mi calmed down completely and turned to look towards the kitchen.
Yu Jinche smiled and clapped his hands gently, and the waiter pushed the cart in.
Two steaks were placed in front of Xie Mi and Yu Jinche respectively.
"Sister, let's start."
After Yu Jinche finished speaking, Xie Mi didn't hesitate and decisively picked up the knife and fork and started cutting.
With one cut, blood flowed out.
Xie Mi: “?”
Yu Jinche on the opposite side laughed softly at this time, "I like my steak rare, sister, you won't mind, right?"
The dim environment, coupled with the blood in the plate, instantly changed the scene from romantic to weird.
A normal person would be stunned for two seconds in this situation, but Xie Mi answered immediately, "I mind, it's none of my business if you like it rare."
Then he turned to the waiter and said, "Hey, bro, please fry it again for me. I want it well-done, preferably a little burnt, thank you."
Yu Jinche: “……?”
He also didn't expect that Xie Mi didn't hesitate for even a second.
But fortunately, he had informed the waiter here in advance, so he would not do as Xie Mi wished.
"Hello, Miss. People who really understand steak rarely choose well-done. This would waste the best ingredients. How about medium rare?"
Xie Mi smiled and refused, "Well done. If your chef can't make it, put the pot down and I'll go in and teach him. I only eat well done, understand?"
Yu Jinche's mask of obedience almost cracked.
[Sister Xie is awesome, she has such a strong mental state. If it were me, I would have felt inferior a long time ago.]
[Damn, I'm so cool. I once went to a western restaurant and ordered a rare steak. The waiter said it was not rare, but only medium rare. He looked very contemptuous. My friends laughed at me for being worldly-wise. I was so convinced. I spent money and had to endure this kind of humiliation. If it is cooked a little more than medium rare, it will be rare. Isn't this hard to understand? Aren't you tired of looking down on this and that every day? ]
[Really, I don't know who came up with this steak contempt chain. Eating Western food makes you look so awesome. I have a bad stomach so I just eat well-done. What? ]
【Old Xie, you are really my mouthpiece! 】
Under Xie Mi's tough attitude, the waiter finally took the steak back for processing. When it came back, it was well-done and slightly charred, and even the aroma was much stronger.
Xie Mi didn't hesitate at all. He just picked up his knife and fork and started eating, performing a live eating show. At one point, he even made Yu Jinche, who was eating the food rare on the opposite side, jealous.
Yu Jinche: “…”
In the past, when he used the same method to deal with those ignorant little girls in the academy who pursued him, they would be scared and run away.
But this woman...
Not only did she eat a piece of steak in no time, but after confirming with him that the dinner was paid for by the program crew, she waved her hand and asked the waiter to cook some.
What a powerful inner world.
